A LITTLE FURTHER ON.

A little further on
There will be time-l shall ind rest
anon;
Thus do we say, while eager youth in
vites
Young hope to try her wings in wanton
flights,
And nlmole fancy builds the soul nest
On some far crag; but soon youths
flame is gone
Burned lightly out-Wh bile Ge repeat the
jest
With smiling confdence,-I shall find
rest
A little further on.
A little further Oh
| shall find rest; half -fercely We ayow
Wien noon beats on the dusty field and
care
Threats to unjoint our armor, and the
glare
Throbs with the pulse of battle, while
life'S best
Flies with the flitting stars; the fren
Zied brow
Pains for the laurel more than for the
breast
Where Love sOft-nestliDg waits. Not
not now,
With feverish breath we cry, l shall
find rest
A little further on.
A little further on
shall find rest; half sad, at last, we
say,
When sorrows settling cloud blnrs out
the gleam
Of glory's torch, and to vanished
dream
Loves palace hath been turned, then
all depressed,
Despairing, sick at heart-we may not
stay
Our weary feet,so lonely then doth seem
This shadow-haunted world. We, so
unblest,
Weep not to see the grave which waits
its guest;
And feeling round our feet the cool,
sweet clay,
We speak the fading world farewell
and say:
Not on this side-alas!-I shall find
rest
A little further on.

Magazine.

Powell Alias Mccormick.

Itought to be settled before election
day what the name is of the Democratic
candidate for Governor. He told con-
ductor on the Hooking Valley railway
that his name was Thomas B. McCor
mick" while trying to ride on pass
bearing that name, but now he says it is
Thomas E. Powell Thomas B. and
Thomas E. sound very much alike, and
he might easily have been misunder>
stood in regard to that part of the name.
But there is no way of reconciling Met
Cormick' to Powell on phonetic princi>
pies, and people of Ohio are left in
doubt as TO what the mans name really
is.
Perhaps Mr.. Mccormick, or Mr.. Pow
ell, or whatever his name may be, Is
playing a deep game. He is running as
Powell for Governor, though he tried
to run as Mccormick on the Hooking
Valley road. If Powell is beaten, as
he assuredly will be, the candidate, be
his real name what it may. can claim
that he is not the man that his name
is Mccormick" On the other hand, if
he wins, which he most assuredly will
not, Mccormick or Powell or wbicb>
ever it is, can claim to be Powell and
appropriate the honors of the victory.
1t is great scheme entirely worthy
of the genius of the Democratic boodler
who is running for fat federal office
by way of gubernatorial candidacy.

The Story of Ruskin,s Marriage.

Two or three letters have recently been re-
eeived asking for the story of Ruskinis mar
riage. The story is this: When compare
Sively young he became interested in an
unworldly maiden, some years his Junior,
whom he thought beautiful, according to the
rules and theories of art, and whom he wooed
on art principles. He married her, though he
was too unnatural 70 need a wife, and treated
her as if she had been a statue, admiring her
in cold. abstract way, not altogether CRATE
ful to young woman of ardent temperament,
Months passed, their relations undergoing no
change, he contented, she discontented.
Meanwhile he had engaged Millais, with
whom as pre-Raphaelite he was much con-
cerned, to paint her portrait The suscepti-
bic artist was struck by her beauty, and
being of totally different constitution from
Ruskin, fell passionately in love with her.
But loyal to his friend, and man of honor,
he showed her only the conventional respect
that was due, sitting the hunger Of his heart.
Ruskin was at last aroused to his own mari
tai defects, and to sense of the mutual love
between his wife and the painter. He finally
opened the subject, and, blaming himself for
marrying, told her what he had observed.
Overwhelmed with surprise and confusion,
and unconscious up to that time of her own
emotions or the awakening of her heart, the
truth suddenly dawned upon her. She found
that she was Only a 7vomEn 1fser an, not a
frigid figure for the lofty pedestal on which
her nominal husband had placed her. He
acted magnanimously, deciding not to stand
in the way of the happiness of two persons
who were fitted for each other The matter
was managed quietly, but in due time she
was released from her matrimonial bonds and
became Mrs Millais. The celebrated artist
having been knighted, she is now Lady
Millais. The three have been good friends
ever since, and two of them are indebted to
the third for their cennubial happiness, and
still vividly mindful of their obhgation.-

purify and redeem the world. They must
let their light shine; thus they glorify God

To BREAK the crushing force of Gov.
Foraker's arraignmeDt of Democratic
mismanagement of the Senate finances
in his Toledo speech the Democrats have
put fourth, not a denial, but plea of
confession and avoidance. The Cover
nor showed that under the two years
rule of his predecessor the aggregate
personal property of the State on the
tax duplicate decreased S32, 100000; and
that after he (Foraker) had called at
tention to the subject by message to
the legislature there was an increase the
first year of S19,000.0O0. The reply is
first that the decrease in personal props
erty returned for taxation under Hoad-
ly was $32,OO0,OOO, as stated, but that
this was nearly offset by the increase in
valuation of real estate during the same
period, the aggregate decrease, counting
both, being S3,OO0,OOO; second, that the
increase in personally under Foraker
was only $6000,000 the first year, the
rest of the increase being on real estate;
third, that Governor "has as much to
do in regulating the grand duplicate as
he does in directing and supervising the
Providence of God;" and, fourth, that
the improved financial showing IS who'll
ly due to the labOrs of the Democratic
A uditOr of State, "the one man in the
State House who stands like the Rock
of Gibraltar between the people and
State bankruptcy and suspension of
payments" This singular line Of de-
Tense awakens more questions than it
settles. For instance, if it was the
Democratic Auditor who increased the
taxable personally $6,000,000 during the
first year of Republican rule, what was
this "Rock of Gibraltar" doing during
the two years of Democratic rule, when
the personality was decreasing S32, ,000,-
0GO? If the Auditor and not the Gov
ernor is responsible for the States finan-
cial condition, why does the Democratic
State Convention denounce the Cover
nor for bankrupting the State treasury
aud at the same time nominate the Aud
itOr for reelection. The fact remains
that with the same State Auditor and
substantially the same condition of bus
iuess throughout the state, the Demo
cratic administration allowed a vast
amount of personal property to escape
taxation, while Republican admins
discharge of duties on the part of asses
sors and boards of equalization saved
over 100000 year to the relief of the
taxPaying property of the State. All
att tempts to cover up this fact only make
it the more conspicuous.-Cin. Times-S.

Grains of Gold.

Ignorance is prolonged infancy.
Coarse kindess is at least better than

Proud hearts and lofty mountains are

Great good is often unaccomplished
because it is not attempted.
Judge no man because the disposition

He who is most charitable in his
judgment is generally the least unjust.
